The Fear FreeTM movement is aiming to reduce the fear, stress, and anxiety experienced by pets when they visit the veterinarian, as well as in other aspects of their daily lives. Those negative emotions cause lasting harm to pets, and are associated with serious health and behavior problems as well.

I’d like to ask you about the role you think Fear FreeTM can and should play in helping homeless animals in shelters. There are only three simple questions:

* 1. Do you believe helping animals in shelters experience less fear and stress, as well as stress-related illness and suffering, needs to be a critical part of the Fear Free movement?

Yes No

* 2. If so, would you like to see support from national veterinary organizations such as the AVMA, AAHA, NAVC, and others to make this a priority?

Yes No N/A

* 3. How important to you is the protection of animals in shelters from fear, stress, anxiety, and associated illness and suffering?
